All that with no line, no running game, a reerun for a head coach, a new playbook every season, all while trying to figure out and learn the game himself. It's not like he's a grizzled veteran trying to produce these numbers.
I HAVE seen him play. I've seen him have shit games. I've also seen him deliver the ball with accuracy and make smart decisions on the field. He's better than you think, and if you think he sucks, then (uhp... wait for it...) you don't know much about football at all.
Woah, see what I just did there? I can play that reeruned game too.

Apparently you can't.
He had a very good line while he was there for one. With Jansen anchoring one side while Samuels did the other.
Second, in 07 and 08 Portis went for 1262 and 1487 yards rushing.
So how did he have no running game? And even with a good line and solid ground game he was still mediocre to poor. And we're not talking about a second year guy 08 was his 4th year in the league.
Like I said, you don't know what you're talking about.
